will operate.

on position at both the ground and platform
controls.
2 Turn the key switch to platform control. Do not
start the engine.

and hold for 5 seconds.
5 Return the joystick to the neutral position,
pause for a moment, then move the joystick full
stroke in the opposite direction. Hold for 5
seconds and return the joystick to the neutral
position.
Result: The alarm should sound indicating
successful joystick calibration.
